AccuRev Introduces Common Collaboration Framework for Development Teams,
QA Teams and Management
Embeds Application Lifecycle Workflow Directly within the SCM Environment
Lexington, MA, December 12, 2006 – AccuRev Inc. today announced it has once again broken new ground in software configuration management (SCM) by adding native integration of application lifecycle workflow. AccuRev 4.5 coupled with AccuWorkflow™ allows an organization to define, design and ensure compliance with an issue-based lifecycle workflow. Organizations can quickly refine new processes such Agile or Scrum, or mirror an existing process, directly within its existing AccuRev® SCM solution. Development team collaboration and maintaining project status is enhanced with a single shared graphical view into the development lifecycle, linking for the first time tasks, issues, files and versions.
AccuWorkflow's task-oriented user interface delivers unprecedented visibility, collaboration, and productivity for the project management of even the most challenging geographically distributed or outsourced software development organizations managing multiple releases in parallel.
AccuRev with AccuWorkflow provides a console for tracking the progress of both tasks and changes in software development teams. Engineers and management may view critical SCM project data across product and project release streams in real time and graphically assign or reassign work to groups or users and reassign release targets for that work, with drag-and-drop simplicity. This provides a new level of data integration while also eliminating the multiple, manual and error prone steps, and time-consuming scripting required in traditional SCM tools.
Damon Poole, AccuRev Founder and CTO, says, "AccuRev changed the face of SCM with its unique stream-based architecture that instantiates process in a more practical way than traditional file-based SCM tools. AccuRev with AccuWorkflow is a natural progression and next major milestone in SCM, extending the value of streams beyond file and source code management, improving process governance and collaboration across application development teams."
AccuRev with AccuWorkflow also deepens AccuRev's sophisticated integration with leading issue and defect tracking systems such as Mercury Quality Center, IBM Rational ClearQuest, Serena TeamTrack, Atlassian JIRA, and Bugzilla transforming issue management in AccuRev change packages into a project and release process workflow engine.
